🐓 One whole chicken = 3 family dinners

Adding beans & pulses is my favourite way to stretch meals further, save money and boost nutrition without anyone really noticing 👀

Here’s this week’s cheap family meal plan ⬇️

🍽️ MONDAY
Roast Chicken Traybake with Butter Beans
Whole chicken roasted with potatoes, carrots, onions & butter beans soaking up all the juices 🤤

💷 Approx cost: £1.20 per portion

🍛 WEDNESDAY
Chicken & Red Lentil Curry
Use the leftover breast meat in a mild curry with red lentils, tomatoes & rice.
The lentils bulk everything out and make the sauce lovely and thick.

💷 Approx cost: 85p per portion

🍲 FRIDAY
Chicken, Bean & Veg Soup
Use the carcass to make stock, then add cannellini beans, veg & tiny pasta shapes for a hearty end-of-week dinner.

💷 Approx cost: 70p per portion

Total cost for 3 family dinners for 4 people?
👉 Roughly £12–£15 depending on where you shop.

This is exactly why I love cooking with whole chickens — less waste, more meals, and nobody leaves hungry 🙌

Would you try this? 👇

A example of what you can plan with a few staples and just £60. This was a big shop and very meat heavy after running down my freezer and will definitely contribute to a number of meals next week.

Meal 1: Chicken Panang and rice
Meal 2: Mustard Chicken and lentils
Meal 3: Salmon Poke Bowl
Meal 4: Sausage & Mash
Meal 5: Hunters Chicken and Sweet Potato
Meal 6: Jacket Potato cheese & beans
Meal 7: Blackbean BBQ Chicken Flatbread & beetroot feta couscous salad

Lunch options: Chicken, avocado, vegetable sticks, salmon, cheese, bread, potatoes, eggs

Snacks: Carrot, corn, hummus, fruit variety, homemade ice cream, yoghurt

A example of what you can plan with a few staples and just £60. This was a big shop after running down my freezer and will definitely contribute to a number of meals next week.

Due to the fabulous bank holiday weather, I also added the following for a wonderful BBQ; pork belly skewers, halloumi, beetroot feta salad, chicken wings. (not pictured, we ate them too fast)

With a £30 fresh shop next week, I reckon I can mostly plan another week of food from this.

The monthly plan will include meal plans delivered straight to your inbox with a shopping list, tips for budgeting and basic recipes.

I've been planning my weekly menu for over 6 years. I plan around my life;

⏰ when I have time to cook
👨‍👨‍👧‍👧 when I need to get something on the table fast
💳 when I want to cut back on food bills
🌴 when I go on holiday and want to empty the fridge
😴 when you just want to chill

With a good plan once a week, all the meals fall into place and can be adapted if something changes.

The family food system gives a weekly food plan, shopping list, east to follow recipes and top tips to help save money, time and the planet 🌍
